The Galah (Eolophus roseicapilla) is a species of parrot that is widespread across the entirety of Australia, including Tasmania. These species are a common sight in the wild, in suburban areas or even as pets. These cockatoos have a crest that is a slightly lighter shade of pink than the rest of it's body feathers. Unlike the Budgerigar it has not been bred into different colours for domestication but has been part of hybrid animals with similar common birds in the area such as the Corella. They can be seen in huge flocks in the arid interior of Australia and can be seen in those flocks feeding on seeds and insects on grass and even local parks. Like many birds in Australia, it rests and stops making noises during the hot mid-day hours.
